Avatar Animation - Freestyle

Love the movie so much!!! Here is a personal work of Avatar animation I made recently to mimic the cool Nike freestyle series. The avatar model was built based on my own face. The main workflow of this animation includes:

- modelling, texturing: maya, zbrush, photoshop
- rigging & animation (face, body, hands): maya, motion builder, vicon MoCap system
- simulation (hair, braid, tail, ball, etc): maya, shave and haircut
- render: mental ray
- composition: After effects, Premiere

Thanks for watching. Hope you like it!

Great Animation! Where did you rendered your animation; in you on desktop? If was you desktop, could you put your specification's hardware?!

Thanks! =D

[ericguqin]

@saidimon yes just my desktop (Q6600, 4G RAM and GTX260)

@ericguqin O.O

How long did it take to finish you animation?!

[ericguqin]

@saidimon about 3 months from the first modeling to the final composition

LOVE how you showed the different textures and steps and what not during the animation! That was AWESOME! :D

Quite amasing, very good motion physics a lot of work must have gone into making this

can we see the Navi/Human in a natural setting ?

[123allrock]

How, can one create a charter that shows natural frame stress and physics, when doing animation loops we allways end up with a very mechanical look,
